A few Maplers know I'm a huge fan of doing quests in MS, I even received a quest medal for finishing 800 quests. *sticks nose up in the air* Some Maplers say it's a lot but actually it's like, only a quarter of all the quests. So, there's a Halloween event going on in MS and I had to go to the Phantom Forest to finish a few quests. One was something about finding this Jack person and another was about collecting ten Stormbreaker badges for a quest called The Brewing Storm.
I tried my luck and entered the eerie Phantom Forest. Wrong move, Ru Min, wrong move. *shakes head sadly* I was on my way to activate the Finding Jack quest and boom! Out came this (adorable) brown giant Yeti and a Leprechaun was sitting on its back, controlling it. Reminds me of the sea anemone and the hermit crab. Mutualism, haha. I started shooting fire arrows at it (I'm a fire-poison mage) and MISSED, 3k+, MISSED, 3k+ was shown on top of its head. A HP bar had also appeared on the top of the screen. Weird, I thought. I switched strategy and started hitting it with my wand instead 'cause some event mobs (I thought it was an event mob) require manual hitting from the Maplers.
Once my character touched it, PEW! From the top of my screen fell a tombstone and my character had turned into a ghost. In other words, I DIED LAH! F5 My EXP bar decreased tremendously and my character was sent back to the nearest town. WTH. That cute Yeti mob has fooled me!
Guess what that mob was?
It's a Bigfoot. ==ZZZ. 110 level, of course I died instantly after touching it! The touch of death, I call it. But being a determined person like I am, I tried my luck again with my brother beside me, giving me moral support(?). Just like before, tombstone kept falling down from the top of my computer screen until my EXP bar went straight to 0.00%. Ahh, great. F3

My palms were sweating like crazy. I moved my character to the right side of the screen a little to check out the map and saw this long tiang (pillar) twirling and moving towards me at the same time. I rushed back to my safe spot and double-clicked Sage (the NPC - Non-Player Character - there) to find out WTH it is.
"...if you value your life, you'll not touch the column..."
I didn't know what that meant and moved my character to the tiang. PEW! Once again, a tombstone landed on the ground. That tiang finished me off by 50k+ damage!
[CLICK TO VIEW]DIE. F5 All my effort and EXP and time and energy had gone down the drain - just like that. F5 I gave up and went back to the foyer in the haunted house. Now, I need to get back all my EXP by training. == I'd found some guides after googling and quite a handful of Maplers had commented it was one of the easiest jump quest in MS. Maybe, but you have to master the steps. If you wanna do this jump quest, I think you'd better go for a medical check-up first. Your heart might suffer from a freaking heart-attack. *nods head*
This is the crappiest and shittiest thing I've ever done in my entire MapleStory life.
